Time period of a particle in SHM depends on the force constant k and mass m of the particle: T = 2π\(\sqrt \frac{3}{k}\) A simple pendulum executes SHM approximately. Why then is the time period of a pendulum independent of the mass of the pendulum? |
Answer» In case of a simple pendulum, k is directly proportional to m. Hence ratio of m / k is a constant. Hence time period doesn’t depend on mass. |
